Chapter 824: A Critical Attack (III) (1/2)

Samigina’s objective was to penetrate the Temple Union in the shortest time possible. How could he miss such a great opportunity? As a result, he chose to launch a critical attack when the Southeastern Fort was the weakest and take it in one fell swoop.

The strongest hundred thousand out of the army of five hundred thousand had finally appeared on the battlefield, to end it all in a single stroke.

The other demon gods did not accompany Samigina to battle. Now, even the demon gods without clans were resentful. Of course they could tell what Samigina’s ambitions and objectives were. However, what could they do about it?

The overall strength of the Fiend Clan even surpassed the Moon Demon Clan and Star Demon Clan. Ten thousand Fiends was a terrifying force. There were four Fiend Kings, combined with countless Fiend Commanders, Fiend Lords and Grand Fiends. They were skilled in both physical battle and magic with tough bodies and intelligence that was on par to humans. With a hundred thousand fiends mobilised at the same time, how terrifying of a sight was that!

Even the other demon gods knew that Samigina wanted to claim all the merit by taking action now, as well as take away all the items in the Southeastern Fort for himself. However, what could they do? Could they rebel against the Demon God of Death who stood among the five great demon gods?

They could not, nor could they afford to. Even if they had an army of over three hundred thousand if they poured their forces together, they were not on the same page. In particular, it was impossible for the clans without demon gods to listen to their orders. There was not a demon god bold enough to serve as a leader. As a result, they could object, but they really could not revolt.

The battlefield before the Southeastern Fort gained some momentary peace, but the atmosphere over the entire battlefield became even more pressing.

Large numbers of demons retreated from the front times, As they retreated, they gradually dispersed to the left and right. This also made the hearts of the human powerhouses tighten despite only just easing up slightly.

The Fiend army of a hundred thousand approached the Southeastern Fort like a flood. Under the request of Samigina, they purposefully moved slower, which lead to the warriors of the Southeastern Fort to experiencing an even deeper impression of the tremendous pressure they faed.

On the walls of the Southeastern Fort, a portion of them ranging across all the vocations had taken part in the holy war five years ago. However, even during the holy war back then, the demons had never launched a crazy attack like this.

A crazy, constant attack that lasted for a day and night regardless of the consequences, all composed of the strongest clans and elites the demons had to offer. This was the first time the humans had witnessed something like this, the unrelenting force of the demons!

Although the losses of the Southeastern Fort were not as great as the demon’s, it still came at a cost. And for some reason, the magic cannons of the fort had vanished. Although the battle prowess of the humans increased tremendously when the six vocations worked together, the emey was just too powerful. There were five hundred thousand demon elites! Just how terrifying of a force was that?

Most of the troops from the Southeastern Fort were exhausted and injured. The warriors and knights were slightly better off due to their numbers, which allowed them to rotate in and out of battle. However, the mages had been fighting continuously. Even when Qiu Yonghao ordered them to rest, they did not. They were dying from exhaustion by remaining on the walls and continuing fighting. Their magic had already run dry. Even with the replenishment from the magic crystals, they had mentally over-exhausted themselves. Basically every single magic user’s eyes were bloodshot.

However, the battle had still yet to end. Samigina had no intention of recalling the troops and resting up. He planned the opposite. He had finally unleashed his own Fiend army, which also formed the greatest force the demon army had to offer. Despite had already begun to appear in the eyes of many on the walls of the fort. Even though they matched the opponent in terms of number, they all knew just how powerful the Fiends were. Once this army of Fiends had launched a full scale attack on the walls, they would be impossible to stop.

Qiu Yonghao’s gaze was piercing like hawk’s as he stared at the Fiend army that slowly approached them. He could sense the weakness of his soldiers as well as their helplessness and despair. However, he was still teeming with fighting spirit.

Come, Samigina, come. I’ve waited for you for long enough now.

“Seniors, please get ready,” Qiu Yonghao said to the three mages beside him politely.

“Little Qiu, you’re very impressive. You do live up to the title of temple head of the Warrior Temple,” for some reason the leading mage praised Qiu Yonghao. Afterwards, the three mages turned around and left in a hurry. They vanished from the top of the walls in the blink of an eye.

The knights and warriors that had collapsed on the ground from exhaustion all stood up and picked up their weapons. The mages also struggled to lift their magic staves. The spells they could use was severely limited now, but they could only hope to kill a few more enemies in the final moment.

Every single person’s eyes filled with determination. What was the holy war? This was an endless battle between two races. There was no room for easing up. With how wildly the demons had launched their attacks, once they pierced the fort, they all knew how the demons would engage in slaughter. Since that was the case, they might as well battle to death.

The battlefield was the best place for training any member from the six temples. Not only would their cultivations be trained, their character would be forged as well. Without any doubt, as they watched the Fiend army approach them, the minds of every single person from the six temples was forged. If they could survive this battle, then they would all become true elites of the six temples.
